Hello everyone,
I am working on the last of the kitchen doors for my parents. These are the first Rail and Stile doors I have worked on since installing the DeWALT sliding table on my newly restored 60's Unisaw. For the first time I was able to trim the bottom of the doors rather than try to sand the bottoms flush. I must say it is a dream.
When I set up the saw, I scribed a line strait back from the left side of the blade into the cast top, this helps greatly when cutting. With the door on the sliding table, I over hang the bottom of the door a smidgen over the scribed line and then make my cut. It takes off any glue squeeze out and trims the door strait and square.

I cannot believe how easy this is now and how perfect it turns out.
Thanks for looking,
David.
